Outside referral: As a potential recipient, the patient has the right to be referred to another facility for a second opinion if the original center does not find him/her to be a suitable candidate.  However, one should try to ascertain the rationale for this and correct any deficiencies (is your son compliant with his meds, therapy) before going for a 2nd opinion.

Question 3

anything to know post-radical nephrectomy? is there anything life threatening? when should one wait on the kidney transplant list?

Accepted Answer

2 year wait: A radical nephrectomy is done to treat cancer. We generally want to wait 2 yrs before transplantation and use of the immunosuppressant medications because they can worsen any hidden cancer cells. But today, many also think that a very small cancer in the  kidney that had a very low chance of having spread may not require the two year wait. A bit complex. Talk to the transplant team directly.
